ohh lordy me i love blueline medic... they are just brilliant
one of my favourite nights ever was sitting at the bar in the punter's club, watching them through the arch (perfect view to the stage) with 2 great friends, listening to the band, talking shite and getting slowly sloshed...
"the apology wars" is one of my fave albums ever - hands down the best album released last year
i'm looking forward to a new album from the gents eventually... the ep (a working title in green) is great too if people ever get a chance to hear it
all hail blueline medic

im not sure where to categorize them - people tend to get very touchy these days when you do, but i guess i would say a little punk and little rock and a little something else... the lead singerdonnie has the most awesome voice ever - probably cause its quite unique... i will suggest a couple of songs to download if you like.

That's a good description of them. I love the raw energy of the songs. Didn't do heaps for me at first but when I listened to the album after awhile the lyrics and music started to really grow on me. I love it now. I saw them play as support for SFK in January but wasn't into it much. However, now that I have their album and am more familiar with their songs, I'd love to see them live again. hey, btw, Megan, which CD is their cover of Tori's Precious Things on? |

precious things is on the split with movielife and midtown albums called"new old rare" plight 217 is so rediculously good a song ...wow  a few months ago i made a tee for myself (i dont know if its legal but i did it anyway cause im a badass (not))... i scanned the working title in green cover and made a transfer - only problem is i put it on upside down... haha i still wear it though cause from where i see it from its the right way up heheh |

So I saw Blueline Medic play last night at the Annandale Hotel with a friend, Lou, and a friend of hers. It was fun. They played a lot of songs off their album, plus Plight 217 from their EP, plus some new songs. The lead singer Donnie has a different stage presence to the quieter Paul (Dempsey). That's not a slight on Paul, I prefer Paul's mannerism, but I found the difference interesting. When one guy in the crowd yelled a song request Donnie singled him out and said "you're lucky I don't get you up here to sing it instead". Then he paused and said "I'm shitting myself now... you probably would". Heh. They played their cover of Precious Things which he introduced as "yes, we'll play our cover of Precious Things by Tori Amos. Bow your heads reverently".
There was no crowd singing though. It seems to be de rigueur at Something for Kate gigs, but not elsewhere I guess. I caught about 4 or 5 people in the crowd partially singing to the songs Making the Nouveau Riche and Shuffle & Scape, but it wasn't the sing-a-long you get at SFK gigs (à la Beautiful Sharks, Truly, Monsters, etc).
